BLOOD AND IRON.
Bismarck Denounced-ASsisting Ger
 many's Socialists.

A mass meeting, under the auspi- ccs of the SOcialistlc Labor Party, was held at Cooper Union, New York, last Wednesday night. The meeting was convened to enter 8 pro- test against the arbitrary dissolution of the Rechstag. The speakers were John Bealin. Alexander Jonas, II. Walther, Frank Seubert. $. k. Shevitch and Colonel Hinton. The hall was crowded. The mention of Bismarck's name was the signal for misses and groans, but the slightest reference to Henry George brought applause.
 The following resolutions were adopted:
 Whereas, The dissolution of the Ger man Reichstag because it refused to sub- init to the autocratic will of Bismarck, is a scandalous insult to the German peo- pie; and.
 Whereas, Bismarck with unheard-of brutality has dared to threaten whole nation with destruction because a small clique of monarchistic phrase-mongers in France indulge in revengeful declara- tions which are in no way approved by the French working people; and,
 Whereas, By this threat the German government exhibits its intention to strike deathly blow at French revolu- tionary socialism, so that, after the latter is oppressed, it may unhindered crush out the Social Democratic movement in Germany and save the monarchic state from destruction: be it
 ResOlred, That we, the New York workingmen, in mass meeting at Cooper Institute assembled, condemn the "blood and iron" policy of the German govern, ment as represented by Bismarck, and moreover express our sympathy with our German and French brethren in their effort to resist the attempt to disre, gard the will of the people; and be il | further
 Resolred, That we, recognizing the solidarity of the proletarians of all coun tries, pledge our moral and financial sup port to our German brethren in theil struggle against the arbitrary policy ol | the German government.

SOCIAL POLITICAL NOTES.

The latest accounts of the situation in Ireland are by no means encouraging to the parliamentarian wing of Irish patri- ots, though to the revolutionary party they may be full of promise. Evictions continue under the most harassing cir cumstances, and the brutal government now threatens the poor people with more rigorous measures. ''lnclting to riot" conspiracy, intimidation and boy cotting are the charges upon which the police hope to convict those lrishmen who still have enough manhood left to resist oppression. It seems more than ever evident that the Irish will never succeed in gaining their right to life" except by the cooperation of the English Social Democracy, which is ever ready to stretch forth the hand of fraternity whenever the Irish people show an in ciination to accept.
 The Committee of Twenty five of the Chicago United Labor Party has handed to the eight labor representatives certain tactical rules to observe and take with them to the legislature, to the effect that no sympathy should exist between the representatives of the workingmen and those of the capitalistic parties, and no common objects can be carried out be- tween them; that no fayors can be ac- cepted from representatives of the cor rupt parties nor any granted by Labor representatives to the representatives of Capital; that no combinations or agree ments with the enemy shall be made, ,and that the personal carriage and social ac- tivity of our representatives should b1 such as to reflect credit upon the Party to which they owe their position as rep resentives. The Labor Party of Chicago evidently means business, and adopts 1 correct tactics which must in the end bring complete victory for the working men. Stern, uncomproInislng and hon. est obedience to such rules can never re- l suit in lasting injury to the interests Of Organized Labor, but must eventually carve the way to influence and power fol the Labor Party.

 LATER. It is stated now upon what is considered good authority that Dr. McGlynn has been perma- nently suspended from the priest hood. In order to regain the lost confidence of the parishioners of St. Stephens, it will undoubtedly be as serted that religious and not politi- cal reasons were the cause of the Doctors suspension. The editor of the CathOlic Herald, published in this city, announces his determina- ton to stand by D.. McGlynn. From private sources l learn that other Catholic clergymen will open ly express themselves in support of McGIynn's position.

SOCIALISM IN BRITAIN.
University Classes for the Study of
 S0cialism-E First.


 can only add that there are nu- merous circles of Christian Social ists. with two excellently-wrtten or gans, just as determined in their So- cialism as in their Christianity; that in all the British universities classes are formed for the study of Social ism, and that the present writer has been listened to and applauded by hundreds of students of the univer- sites of Edinburgh and Glasgow, with professors in the chair; that a prominent minister of the Established Church of Scotland declared to me that he only waited for disestablish- ment to become a Socialist lecturer, and that the English trades unions, m congress assembled, have found it prudent to affirm that they were mot unfriendly to Socialism. Great Britain will be the first coun- try to realize Socialism, believe me, and let all men of good will rejoice, for Socialism does not mean d level ing down, but a leveling up; not dis order, but order; not denial, but faith. -Laurence GrORlund.

far as the actual interests of the workers are involved.
 It has been claimed by many that it is of more importance that the workingmen should cast one million of votes at the first national election in which they participate, even though such votes be cast at ran dom, al ! without definite object, than tn !. one hundred thousand votes sh, ,ld be cast for definite ob- jects an principles. This is even the eypr ssed opinion of Frederick Engels, he well-known Social. Dem ocrat. It will be well, however, to take exceptions to this opinion, com ing, though it does, from such high authority.
 To those whose only aim is to fer ment and encourage discord without the proposition of practical reme- dies, this plan of haphazard politi- cal action may seem possible; but to those who have the interests of the workers at heart, "brcakers ahead will be apparent. Nor are the edi- tors of the subsidized press sutli- cicntly informed to comprehend the true meaning of the new departure. Instance the New York TtmeS. which prints long editorial rejoic- ing that "the New Party has been inaugurated upon such basis as will enable the boodlers to get at it as readily as they reach the other parties" The fact that none of the Socialistic principles have been adopted with the exception of a phrase which amounts to nothing, also furnishes grounds for relief for the Times.
 But the editors of the capitalistic press, as well as the politicians of the Abncr c. Thomas type, are at fault in all of their conclusions. They forget that the majority ol the workers who are to support this New Party are not politicians, arc not looking for office, but are in dead earnest in their desire for re- form. They intend that the work ing people as a class shall benefit b. this political movement, and the, I confidently anticipate beneficial re suits.
 If they are disappointed, and upoI such a platform the future can onl. bring disappointment, they will cas- about for a IT ore certain method O obtaining the desired results, and i is safe to predict that this method will not be the ballot.
 It will thus be seen that througl a false position at the outset the yer, crisis which the Socialists are en dcavoring to avert is likely to b precipitated.

WANT SATURDAY EVENING.
HolyOke Paper Makers Make Il D,
 mand-An Inventors Work.

HoLYoKE, Mass, Jan. 19.-TL paper makers of this place held enthusiastic meeting on Sunday af ernoon, and resolved to present th matter of shutting down the mil on Saturday at 6 p. m. in such dei mite shape that an answer will b assured; and although the manufac turers are temporlzlng after tn manner of little boys daring eacl other to do something they woul, rather not do, an unfavorable an swer is not looked for, nor shout, the idea of an unfavorable reply b entertained for one moment. Tn amount per ton of manufactures paper paid in wages is not now nor thln one-half of what it was twelvt to fourteen years ago. True, tn, price of paper has also gone down But, nevertheless, the workman Ina. now to give twice the amount of la Dor for his subsistence that he gay, in lS72-74.
 This, of course, is the logical re suit of the capitalistic system. Tn more work you do, the more wori you must do; wages go down, mel are crowded out of employment ano reproached because they becom, trlmps, drunkards, criminals. Pshaw! who drives them?
 Exception is taken to the assertion m .de in the article on the paper makers, printed in the WoRKMEN' < ADVOCATE some weeks ago, that in the event of improved machinery and methods the capitalist puts the increased earnings into his already well filled pockets. The following ca SC taken from real life will illus trlte:
 One of the operatives in a factory located, not in this city, but in this ncighborhood, invented a piece of machinery. Circumstances did not admit of its being patented; the cor poration adopted the invention and m lde the inventor present--yes, It did make him present of fifty dol lars and discharged four of his shop mates,
 Complaint is made through our local paper that the management of one of the woolen mills is fleecing the operatives by system of eXces- siye fines. This is the meanest and most despicable method of taking from the wage earner the product of his toll, and if anything ever justi- fies a strike it is this disgraceful fin ing process. EMGARA.
